A film by Emily Downe for Theos Think Tank’s latest report, Worldviews in Religious Education.
“Nobody Stands Nowhere” is a short animation by Emily Downe, created in partnership with Culham St Gabriel’s Trust and Canterbury Christ Church University, unpacking the idea of worldviews and inviting the viewer to consider how their own unique view of the world might co-exist with other—sometimes quite different, vantage points held by those around them.
The film was inspired by Theos’ recent report Worldviews in Religious Education, which interprets and develops the idea of “worldview” and explores its implications for the future of RE in the UK.
More widely, it brings a much-needed reflection on religious literacy in the UK and reminds us that in an increasingly pluralistic society, there is no neutral perspective and everyone sees the world through a certain lens.
The film can be used a powerful tool for classroom learning, transforming a complex concept into an accessible and personal format, stimulating conversation, and encouraging pupils to think through their own worldview and how this impacts their lives.
